Meltdown Pt. 1

Hey everyone,

This was hell week #1 out of many more to come. Not only did I have to work on my design project (which I really challenged myself with) but I also had to aggressively study for my foreign language proficiency exam that's required of all Art History MA students to complete. After many panic attacks, and I mean many, I ultimately completed my design page (which I am absolutely proud of) and I successfully studied my life away for my exam (and I'm hoping I passed!).

I plan to keep this design project as my final layout for my final website since I'm so unbelievably happy with it. I had to do a lot of work in photoshop and a lot of playing around in dreamweaver to get it the way I wanted it to look. At first I was terrified that I was over-ambitious with the layout I had envisioned, but by the grace of Zeus himself, I figured out how to code my layout properly. I could go on and on about how I achieved the final design project, but I will leave the link for my website to speak for itself.

And here's a screenshot of my website to give you a sense of what it looks like:

I do think there are some aspects I can tweak, but for the preliminary design I think I did a pretty darn good job. I would've never have thought that I would be able to create a website like this in a million years, so I definitely feel super accomplished.
